  Yes you can purchase your own reciever. No you will no be able to steal the signal. All purchasing and suscription information is contained on a smart card within the reciever. The dish equipment that is there does nothing more than allowing your recievers to communicate with the satelite. What happens after that is up to the smart card that you have installed in each reciever.

  the dish has nothing to do with the decoding of the signal... it's just an LNB and a dish!

  The decoding is done at the receiver and it's the card that maintains the comsumer integrity!

    transmitting through a medium that is as much mine as anyone elses it seems that i have the right to use the signal.

    analogy is.........billboards.

    the advertising company has the right to transmit their signal directly to you through the very space we live in.

    you cant have it both ways.

    come to think of it.....tv/radio commercials are akin to spam and junk snailmail.

    they are unsolicited intrusions into our space by no less than somebody just trying to sell you something.

    aaaarrrrrgggghhhh!!!!!!!
